With the Gamecocks loss to Missouri earlier this week the Cardinal could move to No. I'm really excited that we had a lot of different people ready to play today.
Charlisse Leger-Walker scored 15 points and sister Krystal Leger-Walker added 12 for Washington State , , which was coming off a win over California. Charlisse Leger-Walker has scored in double figures for eight straight games, but she made just 7-of shots against the Cardinal. Stanford, the defending national champions, may have been short of players, but the Cougars could not capitalize on that advantage.
Stanford led at halftime, but outscored the Cougars in the final two quarters. Center Bella Murekatete had just two points for the Cougars. Stanford and Washington State first played in , and the Cougars are still looking for their first victory.

The players seem to be buying into his message, at least for now. That being said, the ETSU loss was inexcusable, and the players felt they underestimated the Buccaneers.
Even if Lea didn't, he needed a shift in mindset. To be fair, that shift did seem to show up against Colorado State. While the pre-snap penalties were largely fixed against Stanford, there were a lot of special teams penalties, which can be a sign of poor coaching. Lea is known as a defensive coach, but it has taken Vanderbilt's defense at least a half to settle in the first three games.
The offense, defense and special teams have all shown good things. They haven't really been able to put it all together at once. But I do see potential, and one of the biggest things I want to see is a complete game from those units even if it doesn't result in a win. There's still more I need to see before I make a complete judgement about Lea's first season with the Commodores.
I'm curious what kinds of adjustments he makes with the defense against SEC teams, and whether he begins to use different offensive rotations when the offense stalls. But I think a lot of Vanderbilt's problems stem from having a talent deficit against most teams. That was obvious against Stanford, and Lea won't be able to fix that this year. Is there a chance we get more Mike Wright moving forward?
